Forever Yours

Chapter 5

Lexa's POV

I still have a smile on my face as I'm down the street from Clarke's apartment waiting for my Uber. I hear someone walking towards me, I turn to face them, and my smile disappears. A man is walking this way with a gun pointed at me. "Don't move, " he says coming to a stop a few feet in front of me. I freeze as he says his next words "boss man doesn't like how close you're getting." "What are you talking about, " I say staring into the cold brown eyes of the man with the mask. I think back trying to figure something that has gotten us close to figuring this out. 'Does have something to do with Jasper?' I ask myself. "You know exactly what I'm talking about, " he spits out. she racking her brain going over everything trying to figure what she's missing. "No I don't! The only thing we had was Jasper but you made sure he wouldn't talk, " I say trying to keep my cool. His eyes gave a hint of sadness before his expression quickly changed back to cold. 'he must have known the guy, ' I say to myself. Then everything hits me all at once, we need to look deeper into Jasper. See where he lives, who he's talked too and hopefully, find his phone. I'm guessing whoever killed took it, but maybe we'll get lucky and it will be at his house. Then I remember I'm being held at gunpoint, "There you go, ' he says reading my expression change as I realize what we missed. "But looks like you aren't going to be able to tell your partner about this, " he counties. My mind changes to thoughts of Clarke and never seeing her again. I can't imagine her face when she hears that I'm dead. I feel we've gotten so much closer after tonight and I can't bear the thought of not seeing her again. "Don't worry, I'll make it quick, " he says and then I snap. I lunge for the gun trying to get it out of his hands. Then I hear a loud bang and sharp pain before everything goes black.

Clarke's POV

When I open the apartment door the first thing I notice is Finn isn't home yet. It around midnight so I go take a quick shower then head to bed. Right as I'm about to get into bed I hear the door open slowly then quietly shut. I walk out into the leaving room and see Finn taking off his coat. "So let me guess, stuck at work, " I say in an annoyed tone. "Yeah, I should be
Starting to get off earlier now that we aren't so busy." he says taking off his shoes and moving into the kitchen and pouring himself a glass of water. "So fucking other girls is work now, " I say trying to keep a neutral tone. "What??" he asks giving me a confused glance. "You heard me, " I say keeping the same tone. "No baby, I would never, I promise you it's just work. But don't worry my schedule is getting better now so I'll be home more, " he says trying to reassure me. "You promise, " I ask in a softer tone. " Yes I promise you, you are the only one I am or want to fuck, " he says with a slight laugh. "Now I'm going to go hop in the shower then I'll meet you in bed, " he says walking up to me and gives me a small peck on the lips then heads off to the bathroom. I want to believe him, I really do. I want it to go back to how it was before we moved, but something is telling me something is still off. After a minute I realize I still hadn't heard from Lexa, I call her number and it goes straight to voicemail. 'Maybe her phone just died, ' I think to myself trying not to think too much of it, but just as I'm about to fall asleep my phone starts ringing.
